ABSTRACT

In Ayurveda, pregnancy is viewed as a very special and spiritual time in woman‟s life. It is often seen that a pregnant woman‟s aura is particularly luminous and golden- this is Ayurveda‟s explanation for that intangible “pregnancy glow” that we hear about. It is the need of an hour to have healthy pregnancies in Indian population as the normal nutritional requirements in maternal periods of women in India are not getting fulfilled, so as the malnourished and birth defective children are born. Therefore this is a small effort to find out the exact concept of Garbhini Paricharya given by Ashtang Hridaya is nutritionally a complete supplement for Garbhini.
